Chapter 1616: She Could Not Bear To Let Him Do That
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Nalan Chunbo was about to knock for the second time, Wen Shan pulled the door open directly.
The second Nalan Chunbo saw Wen Shan, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
If a person prepared for the worst but ended up experiencing the best thing that could happen, that happiness would look like Nalan Chunbo right now.
As Wen Shan opened the door, her gaze pierced right into Nalan Chunbo’s eyes—she found herself cras.h.i.+ng into the dazzling starlight in his eyes.
Nalan Chunbo stretched out a hand with his palm facing upward, waiting for Wen Shan’s next move.
Wen Shan lowered her gaze slightly on his beautiful palm. His large hand with its distinct joints held her hand many times that she still remembered its temperature. His wrist was covered in white gauze. Although it was mostly hidden under the sleeve of his s.h.i.+rt, she could still see the edge of the gauze.
Wen Shan raised her head again and stared straight into his eyes.
Wen Shan thought that if eyes could be gentle, then at this moment, his gaze had filled her entire world with gentleness.
Wen Shan slowly raised her hand and placed it in his palm.
Nalan Chunbo let out a sigh of relief that was almost invisible. In the next second, he held Wen Shan’s hand tightly as if he was afraid that she would withdraw her hand the next time she had another realization.
Nalan Chunbo led Wen Shan out. Wen Jie happened to raise her head and look over. Nalan Chunbo was clad in a white suit today, while Wen Shan wore a pair of white trousers. Even the slim-fitting knitwear on her was beige. Standing at Nalan Chunbo’s side, they looked like a match made in heaven.
“h.e.l.lo, Uncle and Auntie,” said Wen Shan softly as she stood beside Nalan Chunbo. She kept her head lowered. She dared not lift her head because she did not want anybody else to notice her burning red face.
“Wen Shan, come here,” Wen Jie said as she reached out to take Wen Shan’s hand and pulled her to sit beside her.
Wen Shan was obedient the entire time, and Nalan Chunbo’s gaze never left Wen Shan.
Although Mr. Wen did not talk a lot, he was pretty adept at cooking. Perhaps it was because he felt sorry on Mrs. Wen’s behalf, in all these years, as long as Mr. Wen was at home, he would not let his wife cook. That was how he trained up his superb cooking skills.
Nalan Chunbo suggested that they eat out. After all, he was too embarra.s.sed to let his future father-in-law cook for them.
“It’s fine. It’s fine. Shan Shan’s papa has already bought all the ingredients. Just let Shan Shan’s papa cook.” Mrs. Wen smiled and politely rejected Nalan Chunbo’s suggestion. She glared at her daughter and signaled for her to help out in the kitchen.
Wen Shan pursed her lips slightly. Just as she was about to get up, Nalan Chunbo pulled her back.
“Auntie, let me give Uncle a hand.”
“This, this isn’t quite—”
“Let him. Chunbo’s not bad at cooking. Besides, he doesn’t want to see Shanshan tired,” Wen Jie said with a smile.
These words were enough for Mrs. Wen to be extremely happy with her future son-in-law. As for her own son… Forget it. Forget it. She did not want him anymore.
Wen Shan saw Nalan Chunbo get up and hurriedly stood up as well. “I’ll go. I’ll go,” said Wen Shan as she ran into the kitchen. She remembered that Nalan Chunbo’s hand was injured.
She could not bear to let him do that.
Nalan Chunbo looked at Wen Shan’s leaving figure as she ran over to the kitchen. The corners of his lips were still curled up. She had told him that despite being angry at him, she still cared about him.
Nalan Chunbo nodded slightly at the elders before heading into the kitchen to help his future father-in-law.
That was because he realized that his future father-in-law had not said much. Even so, he had to make an effort to improve their relations.h.i.+p with his father-in-law, had he not?
Wen Shan went into the kitchen and found a basket to wash the vegetables with. She planned to help her father wash the vegetables. She was good at this. Yet, just as she took the basket, Nalan Chunbo had already reached out and took it off her hands.
Wen Shan looked up but rapidly covered her face with her hands in the next second, as though that was enough to hide her flushed cheeks and burning ears.
